Chapter 116. The Yin soldiers borrowed the way

The so-called "borrowing" refers to temporarily taking something that does not belong to you and then returning it. There is a saying in China since ancient times, called "You take your Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge", which refers to two people who are completely different, each living their own life and not affecting each other.

Humans and ghosts should be like this, they can coexist, but they should not disturb each other. But if ghosts appear in the human world, they are actually called taking our place. A group of ghosts appear at the same time, and exist with a clear purpose, such as "funeral", walking on our path, that is, borrowing our way, and with their disappearance, giving it back to us.

And the so-called "Yin soldiers borrowing the way" are usually understood in the metaphysical world as two modes, one is that many people died on the ancient battlefield, and these people died very suddenly. So every once in a while, under the regular and inevitable node, the world suddenly reappears, and most of the ways to reproduce the world are the last moment of life, such as war.

On the other hand, it usually happens after a great calamity or plague, and many people die in a short period of time, and these people want to detach at the same time, which will disturb the order. So the "Netherworld Underworld" sent Yin soldiers to escort them, and those Yin soldiers who escorted the souls of the dead would line up in a long line, and the souls of the dead would be escorted away like prisoners.

These are two ways that are widely circulated, but in fact there are far more than that. There is another situation, which is very similar to the one I encountered, in the same short period of time, many people died suddenly, but the death of these people is an abnormal state, for example, being killed by a ghost. Ghosts are the worst of the ways people die, because most of them die out of extreme fear, not pain or hatred. Therefore, these people who died because of fear will subconsciously avoid those underworld soldiers who come to escort them, because those Yin soldiers are, to a certain extent, also a kind of ghosts.

So the matter is clear, Su Pinggui killed this woman, and the woman took revenge, thus killing all the people around him, so that Su Pinggui even needed to borrow someone who was not very familiar with him to do such an aftermath as burial. This means that if I go to some old people to inquire whether there has been a tragedy in a local family surnamed Su around the 28th year of the Republic of China, if so, then nine out of nine are the owners of this haunting.

I explained these words to the young man, and although she kept saying yes, I knew that he didn't understand. I don't have to waste my tongue on him, just let him take me to the old man in the village. The young man told me that he had not been in the queue for a long time, and that he could only know these things by asking the production team leader, who was an old qualification in the village, and most of the people who settled in the village knew him.

So I went with him to the production team in Sujiatuo, and after being beaten by the young man, he still inquired about one of the oldest qualified elders in the village, who was said to be the one who herded pigs for the landlord's family before the liberation. After that, he stayed in the village, and after the liberation, he divided the land and became an honest farmer.

Following the address provided by the production team leader, we quickly found the old man's home. The old man is also surnamed Su, but according to his own words, he doesn't know what his surname is, he is an orphan since he was a child, he was raised by the landlord's family, although the social level is low, but the landlord did not treat him well, gave him food and clothing, and asked him to help the landlord's family herd pigs, so he followed the surname Su.

I asked Uncle Su, do you know that in the first few years when the Japanese first started fighting, there was a big family in the village, and there was a person named Su Pinggui in their family? Uncle Su thought about it, maybe the time was too long, and he was too old. Later, he said that he still remembered that Su Pinggui was the only son of another landlord surnamed Su, and later the old landlord died, and the son inherited the ancestral business. But he didn't live long before he died.

I asked again, do you know how that Su Pinggui died? Uncle Su patted his thigh and said, who doesn't know the age of the whole village, then Su Pinggui is a little bastard, he bullies people on weekdays, and often does bad things, and the little ancestral business left to him by his old son is almost defeated in the back. The older generation in the village doesn't like this stinky boy, this person, if he does too many bad things, he will be punished sooner or later.

Uncle Su came to my side and whispered to me, their family, except for those domestic servants, there is no good person, the old mother is also tricky, often beats long-term workers, thinking that his family can be higher than others with a few stinky money, Su Pinggui and his old mother have a virtue, and they have been rampant and domineering in the village for a long time, not only that, but also occupy other people's daughters! I insisted on marrying someone else as a concubine!

After many years, it seems that Uncle Su will still be a little indignant when he mentions this matter. Presumably I was bullied back then, no wonder I haven't forgotten it for so many years. Uncle Su then told me that later, God opened his eyes, and everyone in their family had leprosy, and all of them died cleanly. It's just a pity that those domestic servants are all children of poor families, and they have suffered retribution with this bastard, it's a pity.

Uncle Su's words basically confirmed my guess, even if he didn't continue at this moment, I knew that that was the truth of the matter. But for the sake of safety, I still asked a lot, did a woman die before Su Pinggui's family got leprosy at that time? He also specially wore linen and wore filial piety for the funeral.

Uncle Su was stunned for a moment, and then asked me, how did you, a young man, know these things? I smiled and said that I had heard other old people talk about it before, but I didn't say it very carefully, and I heard that the woman died quite strangely, I don't know if it's true.

I put on a look of an old aunt and an aunt chatting about gossip, and threw out a question that seemed to be asked, and sure enough, the old man took the bait all of a sudden, he patted his thigh and said, no! The girl died unjustly, and the Su family also pretended to have a funeral and sent a funeral in a grand manner, but the people in the village were spreading that this girl was killed by someone at all, and in the coffin she was carrying, there was not even a corpse, it was empty!

I was shocked when I heard this, which I didn't expect, but thankfully I asked. So I quickly asked, where did the corpse go? Did the girl have a black mole on her eyebrow? Uncle Su looked at me with surprised eyes again for a long time, and then asked, these... Someone else told you about it? I was stunned for a moment, and then said of course, the old people in the village said it when they were chatting, and it is said that they were still wearing red clothes when they were buried.

Uncle Su snorted and said, fart! They all said that it was an empty coffin, and the corpse ghost knew where they hid it. I asked him why he was so sure. Uncle Su said that when the funeral team was beating in the village, he also went to watch and found that the people who carried the coffin on weekdays were usually four people, but this time it took only two people to carry them away, and those two people were servants of the Su family.

I remembered that the funeral procession of the ghost I saw from afar in the early hours of the morning was indeed carried by two thin young men. Uncle Su went on to say, we are all croppers, we have worked all our lives, and we have carried I don't know how many catties of things, is the woman in the coffin really so light? Judging from the footsteps of those people, they all knew that there was nothing in the coffin, but everyone was a little afraid of the Su family at that time, so no one opened their mouths to ask. But the people in the village who knew about it at the time also knew that the girl who died was unjustly killed.

Uncle Su said that the girl was none other than the girl who was occupied in the village, and was forcibly taken in by Su Pinggui as a concubine, saying that in this way, she would be exempted from her father's rent, and this dog-day guy would spoil a good girl like this. Uncle Su went on to say that it has been less than a year since the little girl got married, and when people often pass by their Su family's house, they hear the girl's cries of being abused and beaten, and often hear ugly words similar to sluts and kiln sisters. Later, the Su family died of leprosy, and after cleaning up the dead, the village felt unlucky, and did not dare to approach the Su family's house for a long time, but later a young villager passed by, and heard the cry of a woman in the house, so everyone at that time often said that the girl who was killed came back to take revenge, and the people of the Su family were killed by this girl.

Although I knew this was true, I still asked Uncle Su why he said this, is there any basis? Because his basis may be very crucial. Uncle Su said, you said that this person's body is good and bad, even if he has an infectious disease, it will not be said that it is gone, and it will not be a pile of deaths, the Su family almost all died overnight, and when the body was found, there were no external injuries, there were only a lot of measles on the body, and the skin was rotten. No matter how bad leprosy is, people die in order, and as a result, they all die together.

Of course, this is an evil sect, but Uncle Su has never seen it in person. Uncle Su's words are almost completely confirmed by what I thought before, but the female ghost in red turned out to be the daughter of someone in the village, which I didn't expect. So I asked Uncle Su, are that girl's parents still in the village? Uncle Su said that it was long gone, her mother knew that not long after her daughter's death, she died of anger, and her father also fell ill and died in the years after liberation, and the family died a fine death.

I still feel a little embarrassed and a little regretful. But after all, no matter how hateful Su Pinggui is, the other family members are also innocent, this kind of tragedy of destroying the door, even if the girl has a great grievance, she has done too much. So I asked Uncle Su, where is Su Pinggui's home, and are all his relatives living now?

Uncle Su said, how can there be any relatives, this kind of beast is avoided by everyone, and so many people have died in the house, where can anyone dare to live? Later, when the land reform was handed over, it was distributed to everyone, and everyone was dirty and didn't want it, so it was always empty, and then some educated youths came to the village, so they cleaned it up and gave it to them to live.

I was shocked: that... Isn't it just the boys' dormitories? So, everyone lives in a murderous house where a lot of people have died?
